Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
During a guarantee period of more than one year, which is called a Guaranteed Rate Option (GRO), an MVA applies to annuity options and withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount. The MVA reflects the effect of the change in the interest rates we offer between the time the GRO was selected and the time the MVA is applied. Generally, if interest rates increase, the MVA reduces your contract’s value. On the other hand, if interest rates decrease, the MVA increases your contract’s value. The amount of any MVA will never be greater than the MVA Maximum, which is the difference, whether positive or negative, between:

- the current Account Value; and
- the Account Value applied at the beginning of the current GRO, minus withdrawals taken during the current GRO (including any withdrawal charge, but not considering any MVA), plus interest credited at the GMIR.
The MVA Maximum applies to both negative and positive MVAs. If the MVA is negative, the MVA Maximum is the maximum negative adjustment; if the MVA is positive, the MVA Maximum is the maximum positive adjustment. MVA does not apply during the last 30 days of the GRO or to the death benefit.
